Mental Health Media Charter

Poor or ill mental health issues are statistically higher in LGBTQ+ people, and the current conversations about mental, as opposed to physical, health have been surrounding how to talk about mental health positively and acknowledging the issues without causing further damage.

You can find more information on the specifics of what the charter involves in Natasha’s Times Educational Supplement article, but we are pleased to say that Vada Magazine will be taking it up. We’ve aimed for positive language since our inception, but this charter allows us to codify that in an accessible and accountable fashion.

The stamp was designed by Ruby Elliot, aka @Rubyetc, and is available for use by anyone who signs up for the charter. You can find more information on Twitter at @MHMediaCharter.
